Cup News:
Accrington have been knocked out of the Johnstones Paint Trophy North final, losing 4-1 on aggragate to Oldham. After losing 2-1 in the first leg, it was always going to be an uphill struggle, and Oldham were simply too good in the second leg, beating them 2-0 (not 3-0 like I said earlier!). However, manager Grant Thame said that his team can be proud of their performance, and it was an achievement in itself just for a League 2 club to reach the North final.
Managers:
Pavel:

Team: Gillingham
Predicted Finish: 3rd
Actual Finish: 1st
View attachment 194840View attachment 194841
Gillingham really gelled this year and manager Pavel turned them into an incredible team, amassing points and finishing 11 points from their nearest competitors. This year, the media have predicted them to finish last, so survival are the expectations
Svenie:

Team: Southend
Predicted Finish: 2nd
Actual Finish: 3rd

Southend finished around where they were expected too, and got the promotion they wanted to League 1. This season, survival is again the aim

Grant Thame took over an Accrington team that were expected by some to be relegated to the BSP, and steered them to safety. However, this season will be another fight against the odds, where survival in League 2 is the aim.
Matt Cole

Team: Bradford
Predicted Finish: 9th
Actual Finish: 14th
View attachment 194855View attachment 194856
Last season was slightly dissapointing for Bradford. Predicted to finish mid-table, they had an awful start and got sucked into the relegation zone. A late run of form, with only one loss in the last 15 matches saved them, and manager Mark Cole will be looking to build on the season's finish
Mark Fletcher

Team: Bury
Predicted Finish: 12th
Actual Finish: 8th
View attachment 194861View attachment 194862
Bury were perhaps the unluckiest team of the season, they led the race for the play-offs for most of the season but a slight dip of form at the end meant they just missed out. However, manager Mark Fletcher has built a very good team, centred around Joe Skarz, and automatic promotion has got to be the aim for this season.
Oliver Freed

Team: Chesterfield
Predicted Finish: 6th
Actual Finish: 15th
View attachment 194869View attachment 194870
Last season wasn't great for Chesterfield. Expected to finish around the play-off area, they flirted with relegatio before finishing 15th. Manager Oliver Freed hasn't yet signed a new contract and there are rumours flying around that Chesterfield might let go of him when it expires. This year, the play-offs have got to be the aim.
Nezzy:

Team: Crewe
Predicted finish: 15th
Actual Finish: 12th
View attachment 194874View attachment 194875
Crewe were expected to finish around mid-table, and they did just that, with manager Nezzy showing promising signs. This year, expectations are the same but maybe a little bit higher as recently Crewe have spent a lot of money in the transfer market.
Nick Phipps

Club: Morecambe
Predicted finish: 11th
Actual finsh: 7th
View attachment 194885View attachment 194887
Morecambe started the season expecting a mid table finish and ending it only 90 minutes away from League 1 football. Manager Nick Phipps has done a good job (sorry for any bias!) and will be hoping to build on that next season, where Morecambe will be attempting to live up to the bar set by last year.
Damien Worrall

Team: Port Vale
Predicted Finish: 8th
Actual Finish: 4th
View attachment 194894View attachment 194895
Another unlucky team, Port Vale were perhaps the best team outside the top 3, but fell in the play-off semi finals to Morecambe. With a deadly strike force of Febian Brandy and Marc Richards and a new owner who has wiped the clubs debt, the sky is the limit, and many people are expecting at least promotion
James Beadle:

James Beadle is still looking for another job, after what many people believe was an unfair dismissal by Rotherham
Manager of the 2010/11 season: Pavel
